Vermont: Law-Abiding Gun Owners and Hunters are Being Targeted Once Again

Okay, so let's get this straight; FFLs have to perform a background check. Criminals won't submit to a background check. Make sure that there is a supply of guns that bypasses the FFL background check.

Oh, the stupid hurts soooo bad.
